THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1958 PRESSING! THIS WAS RECORDED ON THE CROWNLESS KING BLACK LABEL WITH SILVER PRINTING IN HIGH FIDELITY # 541.

VISUALLY, THE 54 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL PLATTER IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION!

I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND NOTICED THE THICK PLATTER HAS RETAINED MOST ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL DEEP RICH LUSTER. I DO SEE A FEW EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINES. (MOSTLY THE SWIRLY VARIETY) NOTHING EVEN CLOSE TO BEING "FEEL-ABLE" NOTHING AT ALL THAT EFFECT THE INCREDIBLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THE VINYL GRADES EX++ TO NRMT-.

PLEASE NOTE THESE LABEL PICS ARE BLOWN UP TO APROX. 2X THE ACTUAL SIZE! ANY IMPERFECTIONS APPEAR TWICE AS BAD AS THEY ACTUALLY ARE!!

THE COVER PRESENTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL! THERE IS NO WRITING OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SPINE IS STRONG & TIGHT WITH SOME MINOR WEAR AT THE CORNERS. PORTIONS OF THE LOWER SEAM WERE PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED WITH A COUPLE OF SMALL PIECES OF VERY CLEAR TAPE. VERY DIFFICULT TO DETECT, I ALMOST MISSED IT ENTIRELY. THE UPPER SEAM ALSO HAS A VERY SMALL PIECE OF TAPE BY THE MOUTH TO WARD OFF A POTENTIAL SPLIT. BARELY NOTICEABLE. THERE IS NO RING WEAR EVIDENT ON EITHER SIDE! THERE ARE SOME MINOR CORNER DINGS/CREASES AS SHOWN. THE REVERSE SIDE IS EXTREMELY CLEAN & PERFECTLY READABLE. LOOKS LIKE NEW!

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THAT THE COVER ALSO GRADES EX++ TO NRMT- AND PRESENTS BETTER THAN MOST YOU WILL FIND.

I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS MOMENTS AGO AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS INCREDIBLE! THERE WAS NO SKIPS, STICKS, HOPS, JUMPS OR BURPS! THERE WERE NO LOUD DISTRACTING POPS OR CLICKS. YOU REALLY HAD TO LISTEN EXTREMELY CLOSELY TO HEAR ANY NOISE AT ALL AND THAT WAS MOSTLY BETWEEN TRACKS.

OVERALL I GRADE THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE NRMT

OVERALL I FEEL THIS LP GRADES EX++ TO NRMT-

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

NEAR-MINT

NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks (from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been un-played (It may very well have been played and well-cared for) The album cover will have NO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits ,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+ (EXCELLENT)

VG+ records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splits not larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less. It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There are NO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G/G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
